On their debut EP, Panic Island reveal an optimally hybrid sound that’s honed to perfection to deliver a set that’s very much of the punchy alt-rock persuasion, but with a pop accessibility. Produced by Paul Tipler (Eighties Matchbox, Idlewild, The Horrors) lead track ‘Temples’ plucks elements of Neil Young’s ‘Rocking in the Free World’ and J Mascis’ guitar solo sound and welds them to a choppy (post)punk rhythm guitar. It all adds up to an uplifting three minutes.
The rest of the EP is in the same vein, and it ain’t bad either.
